Sadly a really large majority of the DotA players are DotArds (over-elitists, basically), which is the main reason I dissociated myself with it.Ph0X wrote:

I was reading some details and... wtf 1 million USD prize money for the winner of the tourney...?
yeah and they're getting lags in the middle of the teamfightZekira wrote:

doesn't compute right with these stakes, eh?
Definitely, hahahah
The stream is laggy shit.
I'm sitting here for like 20 minutes and nothing happens.
Seriously, if you make a tournament with 1,000.000 $ to win, why don't you make the stream more stable?

also 1 million USD is probably split with the 5 players which $200,000 is still alot
..*edit*
and i hopped on to see if i could watch it and i caught one of them picking drow ranger and the commentator said something like " IF you have splooshed already you will now" or something like that
Every time I remember the 1mil prize I keep wondering how bad I'd feel if I messed up and made my team lose this much money.
You can watch the HD stream with no lag in own3d.tv tho, I saw the MYM vs M5 match and M5 totally owned MYM all the match.

Anyway, SO EXCITED for this game, after suffering a year is shit fuck POS fuck game of noob shit League of Legends. Gotta love all the haters who are dogging on a game thats not even in open beta and is obviously going to have bugs and lag problems. People have been DYING to just SEE Dota2. HoN and LoL in closed beta were SO broken. LoL fucking break for 6+ hours on a fucking normal patch TODAY. I can't see this game being anything less than successful when shit gets more stable and open beta comes out. I think most the people who are talking down the game will end up playing in the end. I just hope those shit LoL players stay the fuck over there.

I don't really see anything to be excited about in this game yet, it's just the same DotA AllStars everyone've been playing for years with a different engine and model set (just like HoN was in beginning).
I'm interested in the complete list of bonus features this will have compared to original and if it'll be a good reason to purchase it.
Oh right, normal attacks damage is now fixed :D

Well, unless Valve doesn't want to make money.
lack of Axe saddens me greatly
My country getting third surprises me greatly.
Wait what are the results anyway?
1st - Na'Vi (Ukrainian)
2nd - EHOME (China)
3rd - Scythe.SG (Singapore )

Na`Vi played really well, they deserved to win imo.
Game 2 of EHOME vs Na`Vi was nice. (the one EH won)
Scythe.SG was lacking in their loser bracket final against EH as compared to their previous games.

Axe is not that hard to counter during laning phase and needs a lot of positioning work to do any damage in a teamfight.
His finisher is great, yes, but he wasn't needed in any of the picks I've seen during matches.
Considering he needs to waste a slot and 2k gold for a blink dagger to be a good initiator while other heroes got innate initiating abilities, no wonder he wasn't picked.

anyone got an invite? :c
The one thing that keeps me from liking these kind of games is the community. You need to be an expert in the game if you don't want to be verbally abused by your team. Didn't Dota2 fixed this somewhat with matchmaking and tutorials?
There's matchmaking, there will be tutorials, and there isn't a hard recording on stats that can be viewed by other players (as far as I know, so less abuse that way). But have no mistake, the community is still shit, everyone is still an asshole. It's best to start out with friends, you get used to it.

Haven't been able to play in matchmaking recently. It just outright refuses to get a game going, and people just insta-leave practice games. :c
What do you mean " It just outright refuses to get a game going, " ?
I wish I could answer that with any clue as to what I was actually talking about.
It won't pick up players when there is a more than large enough pool of players in matchmaking at any given moment.

Do you have any abandons? You might be in the leaver pool
None. Players appear and disappear, but over the span of 30 min and staying at about 4 players... I don't think so.

i wanted a beta so bad like a month ago ..
but after seeing the international (dota 2) and WDC (dota 1) it's reaaally clear that dota1 it's way better atleast till now than dota 2 .. the second one needs to get all the heroes to be as awesome as dota 1 is right now, so i guess i can wait for the release of it :p.

i kinda like this genre. I mean LoL is great but there is one thing that ruins those games.
The community :-/
Everyone is flaming and that sucks
But i guess i buy it anyway ... (at least i think Valve will sell it)

people who can't deal with mmo games comunities don't deserve to get fun from those anyway
Yeah who needs Teamplay if you can insult everyone and act like a racist?
You can forget these games if you play solo.
It's funny with friends, though.

The community can get pretty garbage at sometimes, the important thing is to not get sucked into it. At this point i see greifing/flaming as a part of the game. I know it's ridiculous and can get frustrating sometimes, but what you have to do is just ignore it and get on with the next game. There is nothing you can do about it, and if you take part of it, then you're just as much of a retard as they are.
This is still in beta though, hopefully it will get better when a solid matchmaking system gets implemented.

But you can do something against that ... even though it only works for the own team.
Play with some friends in skype :3
Yeah flaming might be a part of the game, but i still hate it if you play with some newbies and they get attacked ...
because everyone was sometime a n00b.

for a game to have fun and everything it's awesome, but i'm talking about things like dreamhack or every tournament moving to dota 2 right now, or even us playing competitive or closed games.
what i'm actually trying to say it's that the game it's not ready yet to a competitive scene without all the heroes released.

That's probably because, you know, it's in beta? Derp derp. The competitive scene isn't really that important for the game as of now anyway.

You know what's more retarded? That LoL x Dota2 war. Can't you guys just play both or the one you enjoy more and simply STFU?
Of course they are similar in some points, they are fuckin MOBA's, how 2 games with the same genre aren't suppose to have similarities?

What war? there is no war going on here. I'm just pointing out to Two how retarded he is.
The point being made is that one was inspired by the original DotA and the other is quite literally a remake of it. Accusing the remake of copying the game inspired by the original that the remake is a remake of... is silly.Gaba wrote:

LoL isn't as bad as some people make it out to be, but I personally prefer HoN and DotA 2. I couldn't get into the original DotA due to the inconveniences that come with it (like hotkeys, for starters.) But after playing HoN, it's easy to transition to DotA 2 and find heroes similar to ones I played in HoN.
Speaking of which, I want Bristleback.
Speaking of which, I want Bristleback.
there is no rice factor in lol. the map is significantly smaller. heroes spells (which are all ridiculously similiar to eachother, eg some sort of leap, a bonus attack, etc) are all mainly teamplay focused, and are simply casted asap and require no real level of timing or planning to execute well. dota and hon (which are making some truelly sexy and original heroes atm) have much more dynamic play and a MUCH higher skill cap. ps bristleback is awesome
Someone told me Bristleback would be one of the last heroes to be readmitted into DotA 2. I cried.

With my little knowledge to this subject, it's hard for me to understand Blizzard's point. I thought WCIII is more of a tool to the creation of DotA and the credit would go to who developed the map DotA. It almost sounds like Adobe criticizing the artist who used Photoshop to create a drawing.
Question, isn't IceFrog working for Valve right now for DotA 2?

actually its a lot different to that photoshop reference, you see in dota heroes like Rexxar (beastmaster) and lich are both original names from wc3 so im sure blizz has a case thereWolfn wrote:

Lich isn't an orginal name. If they used lich's hero name Kel'Thuzard then it would've been a problem, but there is nothing about Lich. ANd DoTA2 doesn't use the name rexxar, he's just simply beastmaster
